For the purposes of these Terms of Services, “Affiliates” means, with respect to an entity, any entity that Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, that entity, where "Control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, operating policies, or assets of that entity, whether by way of ownership of more than 50% of its voting or equity securities or assets, or by way of contract, management agreement, voting trust, or otherwise; provided that the term "Affiliates" shall include any variable interest entity regardless of whether any variable interest entity may be, or required to be, consolidated with that entity under generally accepted accounting principles.

8.1 As stated above, Shopee does not allow listings that violate the intellectual property rights of brands or other intellectual property rights owners (“IPR Owner”).

8.3 If you are an IPR Owner or an agent duly authorised by an IPR Owner ("IPR Agent") and you believe that your right or your principal's right has been infringed, please submit a complaint via Shopee's Brand IP Portal and provide us the documents to support your claim. Do allow us time to process the information provided. Shopee will respond to your complaint as soon as practicable.

8.5 Shopee acknowledges that a brand or manufacturer may, subject to applicable law, have the right to enter into certain exclusive distribution agreements or minimum advertised price agreements for its products with other third parties. However, violations of such agreements do not constitute intellectual property rights infringement.

8.6 Without limitation to the indemnity at Clause 32, each and every Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Shopee and its Affiliates harmless from any and all claims, causes of action, damages and judgments arising out of or relating to (a) any intellectual property infringement claim, complaint, or violation relating to any Content or product listings, and/or (b) any removal of such Content or product listings pursuant to or in relation to any intellectual property infringement claim, complaint, or violation.

9. PURCHASE AND PAYMENT

9.1 Payments for goods purchased on Shopee can be made by using one or more of the following payment methods in each country it operates in:

(i) Credit Card

Card payments are processed through third-party payment channels and the type of credit cards accepted by these payment channels may vary depending on the jurisdiction you are in.

(iii) Other payment methods, including ShopeePay
Buyers may also link their bank accounts, permitted payment wallets or other permitted payment methods on our Site from time to time.
Where a Buyer provides consent to Shopee to link or save any payment method to their Account, the Buyer consents to Shopee sharing such payment method information with any payment processor, payment gateway, payment facilitator or other payment intermediary, channel or service provider for purposes of storing such payment method information and processing payments using such payment methods.

ShopeePay’s services are provided pursuant to the terms, conditions and policies of use of service as determined by ShopeePay. By activating a ShopeePay Account and using ShopeePay services, you shall agree to the terms, conditions, and policies as determined by ShopeePay, and you hereby consent to Shopee sharing your personal data/information in Shopee’s possession and/or under Shopee’s control to ShopeePay for the purpose of activating a ShopeePay Account, and to manage, operate, administer and provide ShopeePay services to you, and for all related and incidental purposes. The collection, use and processing of Users' data is governed by the Shopee Privacy Policy and ShopeePay Privacy Policy, respectively.

9.2 Availability of a given payment method or its compatibility with Shopee may depend on your payment method and other factors and may change at any time.

9.3 You may be able to save a payment method to your Account through the Shopee application or website, ShopeePay or the payment method issuer’s application or website. In order to save a payment method, you must complete required information on any registration forms presented to you. The information that you provide must be current, complete and accurate, and you must maintain it as such.

9.4 When you save a payment method, Shopee may store information relating to the payment method, such as your name, user ID, phone number, account number, account information, billing address or delivery address and other information relating to your account, and share such information with ShopeePay, to be reflected in ShopeePay. Shopee reserves the right to modify, suspend, cancel and/or set any conditions, including but not limited to setting minimum spending amount, for any payment method.

9.5 Where your Account is linked with your ShopeePay Account, your saved payment methods will be able to be used in both your Account and your ShopeePay Account, and you may use the saved payment method on ShopeePay or on the Sites.

9.6 You authorize us to confirm that your payment method is in good standing with its provider, including, but not limited to, by submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low-value credit and/or debit to the payment method, in accordance with payment network rules or other requirements applicable to the payment method.

9.7 Except where Shopee or its affiliate is the issuer, neither Shopee nor its affiliates are a party to your payment methods’ accountholder agreements, privacy policy or other terms of use. Nothing in these Terms of Service modifies any such payment method issuer terms. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and your payment method issuer's terms or privacy policy, these Terms of Service will govern the relationship between you and Shopee, and your payment method issuer's terms will govern the relationship between you and the payment method issuer. Shopee does not make any representation or verify that any of your payment methods is in good standing or that the issuer of your payment method will authorize or approve any transaction with a merchant when you use Shopee.

9.8 Except where Shopee or its affiliate is the issuer, neither Shopee nor its affiliates are involved in issuing credit or determining eligibility for credit, nor do they exercise control over the availability or accuracy of payment methods or funds, the provisioning (or addition) of payment methods to Shopee, or addition of funds to payment method balances. For any concerns relating to the foregoing, please contact your payment method's issuer.

9.9 Buyer may only change their preferred mode of payment for their purchase prior to making payment.

9.10 Shopee takes no responsibility and assume no liability for any loss or damages to Buyer arising from shipping information and/or payment information entered by Buyer or wrong remittance by Buyer in connection with the payment for the items purchased. We reserve the right to check whether Buyer is duly authorised to use certain payment method, and may suspend the transaction until such authorisation is confirmed or cancel the relevant transaction where such confirmation is not available.

10. SELLER BALANCE

10.1 Your Account allows the storage of money you receive from your sales proceeds made on the Platform (“Seller Balance”). The sum of this money, minus any withdrawals, will be reflected as your Seller Balance’s balance. For the avoidance of doubt, your Seller Balance’s balance may become negative in certain situations, and no further withdrawals may be made until such balance becomes positive (including from the receipt of future sales proceeds).

10.2 You may transfer funds from your Seller Balance (up to the amount of your Seller Balance's positive balance) to your linked bank account (“Linked Account”) by submitting a transfer request (“Withdrawal Request”) a maximum of once per day. Shopee may also automatically transfer funds from your Seller Balance to your Linked Account on a regular basis, as determined by Shopee. Shopee shall only process such transfers on business days and such transfers may take up to two business days to be credited to your Linked Account. Shopee is only able to make payment to Sellers via bank transfer. Hence, Sellers are required to provide Shopee with their bank account details in order to receive payments from their Seller Balance.

10.3 Sellers are entitled to one (1) free Withdrawal Request per week (“Weekly Withdrawal Limit”). Shopee may impose a fee of SGD0.20 for each additional Withdrawal Request made in excess of the Weekly Withdrawal Limit (“Withdrawal Fee”). The Weekly Withdrawal Limit and the Withdrawal Fee are subject to change at Shopee’s sole discretion.

10.4 Money from your sale of items on Shopee shall be credited to your Seller Balance within 15 days after the order is deemed to be delivered (i.e. not later than the end of the return/refund period).

10.5 While for most orders earnings from the seller’s sales will be credited within 7-15 days after the order is delivered, for orders delivered by non-integrated logistics providers, earnings may take up to 23 days from the seller’s ship-out date to be credited.

10.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shopee may temporarily extend the escrow period or take other steps to protect users and/or the platform, including where there is suspected fraud or irregular activity, or where required by governmental or regulatory authorities or an order of court. Such reviews may delay crediting of earnings and may result in account suspension or restriction or such other measures as provided for in Section 5.4 of Shopee’s Terms of Service.

10.7 Once submitted, you may not modify or cancel a Withdrawal Request.

10.8 If there is an error in the processing of any transaction, you authorize us to initiate debit or credit entries to your designated bank account, to correct such error, provided that any such correction is made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If we are unable to debit your designated bank account for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any applicable fees, to any other bank account or payment instrument that you have on file with us or to deduct the debit and applicable fees from your Seller Balance in the future.

10.9 You authorize us to initiate debit or credit entries to your Seller Balance (including where this would result in your Seller Balance’s balance remaining or becoming negative):

(i) to correct any errors in the processing of any transaction;

(ii) where Shopee has determined that you have engaged in fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions;
